Eddie Izzard — comedian, marathon runner, political activist — is not scared of whatever abuse the dreaded cybernats might throw at him over his decision to campaign for Scotland to remain in the UK.

“You’ve got to realise that I’m a transvestite — I’ve already had a lot of negative things said to me over the years, in the street, right up front, right here, so nothing in politics can happen that is worse than that,” he said yesterday, gesticulating with hands topped by nails all painted red — other than the two adorned with a Union and a European flag.
